Banded elevated push-up

Target: Triceps, chest, biceps, shoulders

Form tips:

• Place your hands on the mat directly beneath your shoulders, then step your feet up.
• Make sure you have enough tension to fully extend your elbows when you push up.
• Don't let your elbows flare out. Keep them tucked in at 45 degrees.
• Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you drop down, then push away from the floor to rise up.
• The lower half of your body should remain in a plank position throughout, with glutes and core engaged.
• If you're struggling to complete the reps, do the push-ups on your knees or remove the band.

Modification – Band-resisted push-up:

• Returning to a more conventional push-up position with your feet on the floor will shift your center of gravity and make it easier for you to push your body back up.
